"Surplus letters September 17 and again November 17. Next year letters January 18."

OK Its now September 17. Did any letters go out?

Wasn't it considered an affordable option for laid off folks once upon a time?

A few hundred, maybe. Please stop lying to people. We'd know and it'd be all overt the news if it were 3k.

No bargained employee layoffs in D9. They are backfilling.

We are a huge market.
We carry the company.
We are safe.

Since early 2021 we’ve been hit with massive inflation extremely high energy costs and what appears to be greed all around and grift and fraud.
Suffice it to say our money gets less bang for the buck.
Buying breakfast and lunch commuting in needing more and new shoes and clothes is destroying me.
I need a $5-10k raise to survive here in Massachusetts
And this new ft rto is ki-ling me I need one day a week where I do not need to commute in. I need that humanity humane time to get through this.
This is absurd just because Jamie dimon thought he was tough guy back then forcing his workers back in.
I really thought Fidelity was a step above.
Well I could not have been more incorrect.

Wanted to voice a concern that’s outraging to many US posters and visitors on this site.

BNY’s headcount story under Robin Vince has been one long magic trick: shrink the U.S. workforce while making the numbers look stable. The trick works because BNY doesn’t just hire visa workers — it offshores U.S. jobs to India and Poland at a scale employees feel every day but leadership never says out loud.

Since Vince took over, BNY has quietly shifted thousands of U.S. roles offshore. Technology, operations, onboarding, reconciliations, custody support, QA, and analytics have all been moved to lower‑cost centers in Pune, Chennai, and Wroclaw. Entire teams disappear in the U.S., only to reappear offshore with the same job descriptions and half the labor cost. On paper, headcount looks “stable.” In reality, U.S. experience is being shredded and replaced with cheaper labor in global hubs.

Visa hiring fills the gaps left behind. BNY files hundreds of H‑1Bs a year, plus green‑card certifications and a steady stream of OPT/CPT hires. These roles — software developers, quants, testers, BI analysts — map almost perfectly to the U.S. jobs employees say are being eliminated. It’s not “onshoring.” It’s headcount laundering.

Then there’s the college‑hire pipeline. BNY scoops up local university grads to collect state and municipal tax incentives, padding the U.S. headcount just enough to claim “investment in local talent.” But these hires don’t replace the decades of experience being offshored — they simply mask the reductions.

So when leadership talks about modernization, transformation, or “building talent for the future,” employees know what it really means: fewer U.S. jobs, more offshore bodies, and a headcount chart engineered to look healthier than the workforce actually feels.

BNY isn’t transforming. It’s relocating the work, repackaging the numbers, and hoping nobody notices the U.S. workforce shrinking under all the glossy LinkedIn speeches.

Hopefully the board will be dissatisfied or an activist investor will kick HT to the street where he belongs.

Lay him off!

A little or a lot?

Several major food and beverage companies are implementing significant layoffs, signaling a downturn in industry sales. This trend is attributed to a combination of factors, including public health advocacy against ultra-processed foods and the growing impact of GLP-1 agonist dr-gs that reduce appetite. Additionally, rising food prices due to inflation are contributing to decreased consumer spending. These developments, while potentially beneficial for public health, present a challenge for the food industry's business model. Consequently, companies are responding with workforce reductions to manage declining revenues.

Large number of people are not criticizing layoffs. There is very little lament, or for that matter - very little anger...

What I see here is MANY Citi employees just asking whether we can stop anticipating layoffs, whether a meeting means something, and whether this or that area is next.

That's a sad place to be at. I feel defeated.

Getting rid of longtime employees might save money immediately, but there's a lot that doesn't show up on a balance sheet. Years of knowing how things actually work can't always be handed over to someone new. Once too many of such people are shown the door, Oracle may discover just how much they were carrying. Saving money today doesn't necessarily mean saving money later.

I have bad news for you. Hundreds of job postings we have are typically either intended to transition a contractor/H1B to an FTE role... Also they use them to pick someone who has already been selected. So, in most cases (not all cases), the posting are just a formality. I know you know this, it's here for newbies.

The leadership that allows for something like this to happen is a disgrace.

The job market has never been worse. Wherever I apply, I don't hear a word back. Even the automated rejection emails seem to be a thing of the past. What the he-l is going on? I luckily still have a job, but what are folks who were just laid off supposed to do?

We lost half the team months ago and somehow the amount of work didn't change. The people left behind are just expected to cover everything now.

Still at Oracle.

Layoffs galore.

This board always follow the same pattern: anxiety before the event, urgency during notifications, this is followed by anger, disappointment, uncertainty. Sometimes there is some relief afterwards.

Cannot change the beast. Oracle will Oracle, there will be layoffs again.

Count our blessings, enjoy your work if you can, if you cannot try to find something else. I've had it and I am looking around - this round sealed it for me.

Good luck all...

I've made it through at least six layoffs now, and all of them left me scratching my head. All the rounds didn't seem to follow any obvious pattern. There were people with years of experience who disappeared, while others I expected to be vulnerable stayed. But then again, some of the newbies were also gone. Different pays, different statuses, different ratings... No common ground whatsoever.

You get through one round of cuts and immediately start wondering when the next one will happen. There's never enough time between layoffs to actually feel secure. This is our reality.

If you got one and refused it, I don't understand you. Centene is a sinking ship. Why you'd choose to stay on with such a good alternative is beyond me.

When will they cut people whose main responsibility is to collect information and repeat it to someone else, from one meeting to another? All of them are still here.

Go look at their pages on this forum and you'll see what I mean. So what's left for us as a potential source of jobs? Where are people applying?

I thought it would be the same, but looks like I was very much wrong.

Full time developes laid off - Retired QA folk get extension - India IDC reality.

Connections matter ?
